          <p>When an unhandled exception occurs a user friendly message goes a long way towards
          user confidence in your application. The .NET framework provides excellent tools for trapping and handling
          thread and application exceptions. The trick is to make the exception user friendly and get the
          user to pass that information back to you for evaluation.</p>
          <p><img src="../../Images/ExceptionHandler.gif" alt="Exception Handler Screenshot"/></p>
          <p>Jeff Atwood, in a contribution on <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/exception/ExceptionHandling.aspx">
          CodeProject</a>, gives a nice template for such a user friendly handler. The IExceptionHandler is largely based
          on Jeff Atwood's template. There are three classes which implement the interface:</p>
          <ul>
          <li>ConsoleExceptionHandler: displays exception information via the standard output.</li>
          <li>SimpleExceptionHandler: displays exception information via the .NET ThreadExceptionDialog.</li>
          <li>DxExceptionHandler: displays exception information in a user friendly interface. DxExceptionHandler is the
          full featured solution.</li>
          </ul>
          <p>Things to finish:</p>
          <ul>
             <li>Need to write some unit tests.</li>
             <li>Allow the default text values to be changed.</li>
